UCCS CS 5220 Computer Communication

Communication networking is one of the most exciting and important technological fields of our time. The Internet and its applications and services are changing the ways we live and work. The networking/Internet field and all that it enables is a vast new frontier, full of amazing challenges. There is always room for your innovation.

CS522 covers fundamental computer networking concepts and principles which guide you to apply the networking theory and design principles, verify their understandings, and build a solid foundation for creating innovations in today's Internet. It lays foundations of network architectures, protocol design principles, and TCP/IP programming skills, which are necessary to take more advanced courses in graduate study and/or technical training in the industry. It covers basic networking knowledge and in-depth understanding of the inner-workings of computer networks and their evolution. Communication systems, from simple to asynchronous point-to-point links, to those based on complex network architectures will be studied. Material will be oriented toward the computer scientist as a user, designer and evaluator of such systems. It may also feasure recent advances in research and development, e.g., cloud computing and data center networking.
